Acronis Backup 12.5 Licence

Thread needs solution

Our environment has two ESXi hosts (VMWare 5.5) with vCenter loaded on one of the ESXi host.

We have successfully deployed two Acronis ESXi Appliance on the each host. For now we have only one 12.5 Standard Virtual Host licence. When we want to perform the backup on VMs that are running on host where the license has been assigned we still get this warning "A licencse is required. One or more machines are not assigned a licence". VMware Virtual Appliance Agent is succesfuly conected to vCenter and to Acronis Backup management server.  We are not sure which step of configuration we are missing. Please help!

Hi Miro,

If your ESXi hosts are united in a vSphere Cluster then it's expected behavior: when backing up VMs from a vSphere cluster, license is required for all hosts in this cluster (in your case it would be 2). This license check is done intentionally to properly support VM migration events and enable backup on the target host after migration.

If you want to backup VMs from only 1 host within vSphere cluster, then you should connect the appliance (Agent for VMware) to the ESXi host directly (re-deploy and specify the ESXi host IP address), instead of connecting them through vCenter. In this case there will be no notion about the vSphere cluster, so license will be required for 1 host only.

Thank you.

Ok. We understand that we need two licence, but for now we have only one and we just wanted to check how it is working. Thanks to your answer we understand why it does not work on this way. 

Thank you,

Miro

Hi,

According to the error you've specified folder E: as destination for backup - this folder is tried to be accessed from the backup agent side which will be local folder on appliance, which cannot be used (unless you use a "Locally attached storage"). I assume that's not the actual destination which you want to use and instead you want to save backup to E: folder on some other machine (on Acronis Management Server for example) - you should share this folder and access it as network share location in backup plan configuration, e.g. backup to \\server\share rather than to E:\ folder.

Thank you.
